Happy Tuesday! 😍😍😍
 
Last night, the annual MET Gala was held in NYC, and it did not disappoint!
 
The theme of the evening was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," a celebration of Black dandyism and the influence of Black style in fashion history.
 
And Black Hollywood absolutely showed up and showed out, highlighting an array of Black designers and historical Black fashion trends. πŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒπŸ’ƒ
 
For the first time, I actually watched the red carpet show (hosted by E! News) in its ENTIRETY!
 
My TOP THREE looks of the evening are as follows:
 
1) ZENDAYA πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡πŸ₯‡

 

The best look of the night was Zendaya... HANDS DOWN!
 
My goodness, her tailor-made pantsuit was nothing short of classic, sleek elegance that was CLEARLY a nod to style ICONS, Ms. Diana Ross and Bianca Jagger!
 
Zendaya's look was absolute PERFECTION!!!
 
2) NICKI MINAJ πŸ₯ˆπŸ₯ˆπŸ₯ˆ

 

My (close) second favorite look of the night was Nicki Minaj!
 
I don't follow Nicki's career, but I've never seen her so polished and REFINED! Her look fit the theme to a tee, very much reminiscent of legendary opera singer, Marian Anderson, during the Harlem Renaissance!
 
3) KEKE PALMER πŸ₯‰πŸ₯‰πŸ₯‰

 

My third favorite look was Keke Palmer!
 
She looked absolutely RADIANT in her wedding gown/tuxedo ensemble! Very chic!
 
And, of course, there were several other looks that made a splash!

 

Who were your faves of the evening? What did you think of the theme?
 
Who was a HIT... and who was a MISS? πŸ’…πŸ’…πŸ’…
 
Check out the gallery of Black women MET Gala attendees! Your thoughts?

Happy Monday, Coffee Talkies! Y'all... I don't even know what to say anymore... I was rooting for her... We were all rooting for her... But I'm not so convinced that she's even rooting for herself... Because if she were truly rooting for herself... Then she would've stopped talking about that man LONG LONG LONG AGO!!! I'm speaking of Kayla Nicole and her insistence upon mentioning her PAST RE...

Obamas Sitting Pretty Courtside!
Happy Tuesday, Coffee Talkies! President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama attended the 2026 NBA All-Star Game in California on Monday night... And they looked so good together!
